New community dining spaces to support local businesses
We have transformed our local shopping areas by creating new community dining spaces to support Knox businesses.
This business recovery project is part of the Outdoor Dining Program, a joint initiative between Council and State Government.
Eight circular outdoor dining pods have been installed across Knox to help food businesses, especially take away shops, attract more customers, and encourage residents to buy locally.
The sheltered dining pods provide modern spaces for locals and visitors to gather and enjoy local cuisine in the open air.
The unique loop design is a great addition to our local streetscape at Mountain Gate Shopping Centre in Ferntree Gully, Alchester Village in Boronia and The Basin Triangle.

Showcasing Indigenous Art
The Knox Children and Family Centre is always finding ways to incorporate Aboriginal perspectives into the learning program, so when deciding how to use an empty space at the entrance to the Centre in Wantirna South, it made perfect sense to install some Indigenous art.
Knox City Council commissioned Indigenous artist Amanda Wright. Based in Boronia, Amanda is a Palawa artist who comes from a family of artists.
Amanda’s brief was to create a welcoming space, keeping the artwork simple and relating it to the early year’s service and the community.
The artwork was unveiled ahead of NAIDOC Week (4-11 July) and the stunning mural fits the brief beautifully.
